Description

#3582 added functionality to send a small user agent JSON structure to SQL Server. While this works, it also drags in a reflection-based dependency, and the populated reflection-based information is held in memory, preventing the AssemblyLoadContext from being unloaded.

This PR swaps this over to using the built-in source-generated JSON serializer. This should improve performance slightly, and it's the second of a set of changes needed to enable AssemblyLoadContext unloading.

While I don't think this'll be a problem, it's worth noting that this means we'll need to compile the netfx library using the net6.0+ SDK.

Changes look good, and we should merge this PR even though the design has changed back to pipe-delimited and we won't be using JSON for the User Agent. Still worthwhile to have this in the commit history so we can refer to it in the future if necessary.
